What's the up side for leaving it on? Because I think we all know what the downside is...

I usually don't. I have yet to blow up.

I keep the engine running in case I want to use the lighter to spark up a cigarette.

If you have an older car/truck, it can make your check engine light come on. Only I can think of.

The key is to strap on your old baseball cleats and moonwalk between the pump and your truck.

I turn it off, unless I have a bad battery.

There's good reasons, although they are extremely rare.

Same thing as using a cel phone on a plane in the air.

Diesel, on.
Gas, off.
Gas, off.

I always leave it running. Usually once I start my car in the summer out here I don't turn it off until I get to my final destination. If I need to get gas or run into a store I just leave it running so my AC can keep cranking.

I've been told it makes your check engine light come on.
Businesses have to manage risk when selling a flammable liquid. It may only slightly increase the chance of fire, but they have to cover all of the bases when it comes to safety and risk management.

I brought my car in for service this morning because an engine light was on, which generally relates to an emissions issue. The first question he asked was if I leave the car running while refueling. Said it does something oxygen related. I've never done this, but apparently it can cause legitimate issues.

Who pumps their own gas???

I turn it off on cold dry days, you know static electricity. I'm not saying if my thinking makes sense or not, it's just what I do

I've never turned my engine off to refuel, I want either AC or heat cause I'm sitting in it

I forgot to turn my car off once when I was in a hurry. No issues here, obviously.
I still don't think it's a good idea to, though. However, the "no cell phones" rule is definitely BS science.
